Lake Forest/Lake Bluff real estate - local expertise with an international perspective.

March 19, 2018

Welcome! My name is Sarah Rowland and I joined the Lake Forest, Illinois, Coldwell Banker office 20 years ago - having lived in London, Hong Kong and Tokyo prior to moving to the North Shore. I work with both buyers and sellers and apply my international experiences to helping transfereees settle into this beautiful area. My husband and I have raised 4 children here and I love working with young families, helping them with all aspects of settling in to a new community, from arranging sitters to schools, clubs etc.

Buying or selling a home is no small matter. Besides being the largest financial transaction you may ever undertake, it’s probably also the most complex! Let's talk about your real estate goals.Sarah Rowland 708.528.4087 sarah.rowland@cbexchange.com

If you are buying, there are many good reasons to work with a qualified real estate professional—especially a trained professional who has earned the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) designation, representing best-in-class buyer services. If you are selling, I will assist you with practical ideas on how to successfully prepare your house for sale, develop a competitive pricing strategy, and create a custom marketing plan that will effectively result in a sale.

I was born and educated in England. After graduating from Bristol University I worked in the fashion industry as a buyer for Peter Robinson in London. I then spent 4 years as a stewardess with British Airways before marrying and moving to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Toronto and then to USA where I have lived for the past 28 years in Lake Bluff. I am an active member of the community currently working for Lake Forest Infant Welfare Society. In the past I have been on the board of the Winter Club, Lake Forest College Women's Board chair, and Church of Holy Spirit committees. I enjoy all sports from playing paddle tennis, squash, golfing, tennis and hiking. I love the outdoors and would love to introduce you to the delights of the North Shore of Chicago. Even though I have lived in the USA for 30 years you'll notice my English accent still shines through!
